Re: Cataloging of electronic resources

[RBETTENCOURT@UMASSD.EDU]

Sorry this took so long. I've just purchased a new system -- new pc, new
modem, new telecomm software -- it's taken me a couple of days to learn how to
use everything. The following information comes from searching the listserv
archives of Autocat (Authorities and Cataloging Discussion Group). I hope it
answers some of your questions.

I apologize for not answering personally, but in the muddle of learning to use
everything, I accidentally erased the file with your address. Sorry about
that.

==================================================
The Center for Electronic Texts in the Humanities announces the
publication of its first Technical Report:

        Guidelines for Cataloging
        Monographic Electronic Texts at the
        Center for Electronic Texts in the Humanities

In addition to describing AACR2 rules, corresponding MARC fields and the
guidelines followed at CETH, this 38-page document discusses some of the
issues specifically involved with cataloging humanities electronic
resources, and includes a bibliography of the most important sources of
information.

The report is not yet available electronically, but we are working on
converting it to a PostScript file to be made available over the
network at a later date, which will be announced on this list.

A printed version is available now at a cost of $15 within North
America, and $20 outside North America, including shipping and handling.
